Publisher's summary

’TWISTY, SEXY, SMART ’ – Kiran Millwood-Hargrave

‘A MODERN GOTHIC GEM’ – Samantha Shannon

‘OH SO ROMANTIC’ – Alexandra Christo

‘AS SEDUCTIVE AS IT IS SINISTER’ – Kate Dunn

‘THE SAPPHIC DARK ACADEMIA OF DREAMS – Francesca May

A dark academia thriller romance with a supernatural twist. From the winner of the Comedy Women in Print Prize

Ten years ago, four students lost their lives in the infamous North Tower murders at the elite Carvell College of Arts, forcing Carvell to close its doors.

Now Carvell is reopening, and fearless student Lottie is determined to find out what really happened. But when her roommate, Alice, stumbles upon a sinister soul-splitting ritual hidden in Carvell’s haunted library, the North Tower claims another victim.

Can Lottie uncover the truth before the North Tower strikes again? Can Alice reverse the ritual before her monstrous alter ego consumes her? And can they stop flirting for literally fifteen seconds in order to do this?

Exploring possession and ambition, lust and bloodlust, femininity and violence, The Society of Soulless Girls is perfect for fans of Ace of Spaces, The Secret History and The Inheritance Games.

Fantastic

The perfect mix of dark academia and fantasy — without falling into the over-done tropes of either. Great characters, a fresh concept, and lots of wonderful winks and nods at literary classics.
